SUPERPOWER DEATH WATCH

SHRN Condemns Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt for Transforming Political Competition into Violence

===================================================

The Syrian Human Rights Network condemned the acts of violence witnessed in Egypt after *the Muslim Brotherhood* transformed peaceful political competition over power into political violence and armed conflict across Egypt.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, the Network said that some members of the international community [The World TYrant/NATO] purposefully created a governing force in Egypt that commits human rights violation in the name of the “Arab spring” and religion in order to drown Egypt and the whole region in disorder, insurrection, assassination and sabotage, all leading to a civil war.

The statement said that the current events in Egypt are a result of *the alleged Arab spring which was orchestrated by the United States [The World TYrant]* to turn the whole region into a battleground for internal conflict rife with violations of human rights and freedom of speech and expression, leading to the death of innocent civilians.

The Network called on human rights organizations and the international community to

condemn these violations and those responsible for them and

cease their use of double-standards policies,

stressing that supporting violence, murder and terrorism violates the international human rights legitimacy, the UN charter and relevant international agreements.

Now that the U.S. [World Tyrant] hostile strategy to stifle the DPRK [Democratic People’s Republic of Koea] by force of arms has reached its height and it has become clear that

*the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and the world is nothing but an empty talk*,

the DPRK is left with no option but to take strong physical counter-measures to defend its sovereignty.

The DPRK’s cause of defending independence and justice is right and its victory is sure to come.

The U.S. [The World Tyrant] will come to know what dear price it will have to pay for insulting and mocking the Koreans.

Satellites and long-range rockets to be launched by the DPRK without let-up and the nuclear test of higher level to be conducted by it

in the all-out action, *a new stage of the anti-U.S. [World Tyrant] struggle,*

will be targeted against the U.S. [World Tyrant] imperialists, the sworn enemy of the Korean people.

The world will clearly know what tremendous might the servicepersons and people of the DPRK will display and what great history of a thriving nation they will make, aware of the justice of their cause and single-mindedly united behind their leader.

The president of the United Mine Workers of America [Cecil Roberts] and nine other union members were arrested Tuesday while protesting outside the St. Louis headquarters of Peabody Energy, one of the companies the union accuses of orchestrating business deals that bankrupted Patriot Coal.

That Chapter 11 bankruptcy has jeopardized pension and health care benefits for some 10,000 retirees and another 10,000 dependents, mostly in West Virginia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio.

More than 750 current and former miners from those states and their families rallied outside the federal building in St. Louis, where a bankruptcy hearing was being held, before marching through the city streets to Peabody’s building.

“Millionaires and billionaires, when they die, they die with great dignity because they’ve got health care,” Roberts shouted.

“Our pensioners and our widowers are just as good, if not a whole hell of a lot better than these millionaires and billionaires.”

Detroit’s population is now just over 700,000 –down 30 percent since 1990

In the booming post-Second World War era, Detroit was America’s fifth-largest city. Today, it ranks 18th. In addition to a sharp population decline, it suffers from high unemployment related to a loss of businesses, a flood of home foreclosures and a cut in state funding.

That has led to shriveling revenue, leaving the city unable to afford a workforce of more than 10,000 and the surging health and pension costs that go with them and with its retirees.

As a result, credit ratings on Detroit’s approximately $8.2 billion of outstanding debt have sunk deeper into junk territory.

Signs of decline are everywhere –in a rising crime rate, streets without lights and block after block of abandoned buildings. The murder rate of one per 1,719 people last year was more than 11 times the rate in New York City. The jobless rate is above 18 percent, more than twice rate for the country as a whole.
